Bad economy means no pest control in Wales county

According to This is South Wales, a county in South Wales has taken up a questionable practice to saving money: eliminating pest control. Of course, this has had its consequences. Now, rats are everywhere and citizens are getting concerned.

One Llanelli resident, who asked not to be named, said the following:

“Failure to control rodents will lead to an increase in disease and deaths. This is a fact.”

“Rodents cause billions of pounds of damage to foodstuffs, drainage systems and properties.”

Though the move will save the county tens of thousands from now until 2013, it still isn’t a well-thought-out plan. Feral rats are generally unclean; they carry 17 diseases that can be spread easily to humans as well as a multitude of parasites. Let’s not forget that rats were to blame for Europe being devastated by the Black Plague in the Middle Ages. It is estimated that the plague led to the deaths of nearly a quarter of Europe’s population at the time. County residents are well aware of these facts.

The resident added:

“Only those who have experienced a rodent infestation in their home can appreciate the fear and worry caused.”

“To do away with the existing pest control service is a false economy, but worse it is a denial of one of the council’s fundamental responsibilities and that is to protect public health.”
